About BKLSX

BlackRock U.S. Insights Long/Short Equity Fund K is an open-end mutual fund that employs a long/short equity strategy focused primarily on U.S. markets. Its primary purpose is to seek total return over the long term by investing in both long and short positions in equity securities and derivatives linked to large-cap U.S. companies. The fund utilizes a defensive investment style, aiming to provide downside protection while maintaining the potential for upside growth through active stock selection, risk management, and broad diversification. Leveraging fundamental analysis and a bottom-up approach, the portfolio managers select growth and value stocks across a range of market capitalizations and sectors. The fund is non-diversified, offering concentrated exposure based on the managers’ insights and research. Benchmarked against the S&P 500 and a 50/50 blend of the S&P 500 and ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, the fund plays a significant role in providing investors access to sophisticated equity market strategies that balance risk and return, making it an important tool for portfolio diversification in varying market environments.
